Telosys Tools 2.1.0 is available

Telosys Tools 2.1.0 is a major version. It comes with some important new features.

Eclipse plugin improvement

The user interface has been improved (more intuitive, less manual operations)

The templates are now organized in "bundles"
A "bundle" is a set of templates, when a bundle is downloaded from GitHub is now immediately available (without any manual installation).
The "generation" process is now possible bundle by bundle

Static resources can been added in a bundle
A bundle can contain "static resources" that are just copied in their destination folder.
It's useful for different kind of static files (.css, .js, .properties, .xml, etc)

New templates

The new templates bundles are available on GitHub https://github.com/telosys-tools

Examples of available stacks :

• MVC web app based on : Spring MVC + JPA or Spring Data
• AngularJS web app based on : AngularJS + REST + SpringMVC + JPA or Spring Data
• RESTfull API services : HATEOAS architecture + Spring Data REST / JPA

New tutorials are available here : https://sites.google.com/site/telosystutorial/ 

NB : the objects exposed in the Velocity context have been modified, then previous templates are not always compatible with this new version

There are now 3 GitHub organizations for the published templates:

• Stable templates : https://github.com/telosys-tools
• Beta templates : https://github.com/telosys-tools-beta
• Old templates (deprecated) : https://github.com/telosys-tools-archive

Telosys Tools 2.0.6 - What's new ?

Packages management :

2 predefined variables have been added ( in "Properties / Telosys Tools : Packages" ) :
  - ${ROOT_PKG}  for the "root package"
  - ${ENTITY_PKG}  for the package where the entities classes are located

Examples for Java :
${ROOT_PKG}  :   "org.foo.bar"
${ENTITY_PKG} : "org.foo.bar.entity"  ( or "org.foo.bar.bean", etc )

If you need other packages variables, they can be defined in the tab "Variables"
With a name like "DAO_PKG", "SERVICE_PKG", etc... ( ending with "_PKG" )

These variables can be used in the templates (.vm files) and in the targets definition ( templates.cfg file ). In the targets each variable ending by "_PKG" and used in the folder definition is transformed into a folder path ( ie : "org.foo.bar" becomes "org/foo/bar" ). Hence the package variables can be used to define the destination of the code generation.

Examples in a template  :

• import ${ROOT_PKG}.cache.${entity.name}Cache ;

Examples in targets definition (destination folder) :

• ${SRC}/${ENTITY_PKG}
• ${SRC}/${ROOT_PKG}/cache

NB :
For an existing project these two variables must be defined before any code generation. 
(your previous package configuration will be lost )
Check their values in "Properties / Telosys Tools : Packages" after installation of this new version 


 

Database configuration :

With Telosys Tools 2.0.6 it's no longer useful to define the databases with a text editor (databases.dbcfg file ).

It's now possible to configure databases entirely in the specialised editor (new, update, delete) :
